Oatmeal Recipes for Breakfast

Is it hard to convince your kids to take time for breakfast – especially a good-for-them breakfast? These kid-friendly oatmeal recipes are perfect for tempting your kids to eat their grains. Oats happen to top the list when it comes to nutritious breakfasts. They’re known for lowering cholesterol, reducing the risk of Type 2 diabetes, even cutting your kid’s risk of developing asthma. And that’s just a partial list of their health benefits. To convince your kids to eat their oats, try out the recipe for raspberry cheesecake oatmeal (it just sounds like a dessert – but it’s breakfast!). Or let them eat on the run by making super oatmeal muffins or chewy whole-wheat oatmeal cookies.
